Hello. C J here. I wasn’t expecting an update here today but I finally had a real actual lucid dream last night. I’ve been practising with the waking dream techniques in the new Quantum boon for a while. I’ve of course known these techniques in Quantum longer than that book has been out because I had to plan and write the book while already knowing them. But I’ve never had a lucid dream while fully asleep.
So I was lying down last night and I just closed my eyes and then I found myself in Ascala. I was in a backyard lined with wood fences, the good kind you can’t see through. It was night time and I looked up and went to myself ‘wow, Ascala has different stars than we do.’ I walked into the house. There in the nice townhouse with pale walls like in some of my art was one of my main fursona, Zed. I said hi to Zed. Of course, we already knew each other. Then I realized my nose was also wolf shaped.
All of this was done fully awake. I keep forgetting to mention it but I have a perfect memory. I don’t know whether the term perfect or eidetic is more accurate but me personally I like both. This whole sequence of events will be in my eidetic memory forever. Zed was wearing a red leather jacket and a while undershirt, both things I can draw. I waved to Zed as I went out the front door. I wanted to see if I could fly.
I could. So here’s me, above the cloud line, looking down at the city I tell stories about, and I’m flying and I’m also fully awake. It was bright and vivid in the way a good piece of art is. You may be wondering, how do I know I’m awake now? I just know. It’s a me thing. Somehow no matter what I always know which way is North. It’s a spiritual thing. I guess dreams have a different North. That went well. Time for more caffeine.

Hello. C J here. I read a lot of cookbooks. This is done mostly for fun. I’m currently reading a short but really interesting book about traditional Chinese cooking. The book was written by an Indian author who has clearly researched Chinese food very well but some of the translations of recipes or concepts get a bit strange. I’m currently done the soups and starters section and am onto the section labelled ‘food that is saucy.’ Cool? Is it also savvy? There’s a surprisingly large amount of ketchup in the recipes. No I don’t think I want a recipe for hot and sour soup that is thickened ketchup water with vinegar and a bit of cabbage. No I also don’t want to take a slice of white wonderbread, roll it into a tube, stuff it with canned corn, deep fry it and then top it with sesame seeds. What in God’s name do they eat in China? And why is it specifically an image of white wonderbread? China? Are you okay? I managed to take out the vinegar, water and corn starch that makes up most of the h...
